mode

mode is a skill for Claude Code from Edmonds-Commerce-Limited/claude-code-hooks-daemon. It costs 19 tokens per session (715 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A control for viewing or changing a daemon's operating mode. Its unattended mode blocks stop requests so Claude can continue working without interruption.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to check the current mode, enable unattended work with an optional task message, or return to default mode.
Why use it?
It prevents an ongoing task from stopping when you want it to finish autonomously. You can switch back to normal operation when needed.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mode scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (invoke.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 127 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/mode - Daemon Mode Management

Run this first

Claude Code loads this markdown and nothing else — the file below is not run for you, and it holds the procedure to follow (Plan 00324):

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR:-.claude/skills/mode}/invoke.sh" <the arguments the user typed>

Follow its output exactly; what is written here is orientation.

Description

View or change the daemon's operating mode. Supports default (normal operation) and unattended (blocks Stop events to keep Claude working autonomously).

Usage

# Show current mode
/mode
/mode get

# Switch to unattended mode (blocks Stop events)
/mode unattended

# Switch to unattended with custom task message
/mode unattended finish the release and run all tests

# Switch back to default mode
/mode default

Modes

Mode Behaviour
default Normal operation - all handlers process events as configured
unattended Blocks Stop events unconditionally to keep Claude working without interruption

What Unattended Mode Does

When enabled, a mode interceptor runs before the handler chain on every event:

  • Stop events: Blocked with a DENY response instructing Claude to continue working
  • SubagentStop events: NOT blocked (subagents should stop normally)
  • All other events: Pass through to normal handler chain unchanged

The interceptor includes re-entry protection (checks stop_hook_active flag) to prevent infinite loops.

Custom Messages

When switching to unattended mode, you can include a custom message that gets appended to the block reason. This lets you give Claude specific instructions about what to work on:

/mode unattended complete all remaining tasks in the plan

The message appears in the Stop event denial reason, so Claude sees it when it tries to stop.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
